Permissions and groundwork in Armagh
In Armagh, as everywhere in Northern Ireland, public roads and footways are looked after by DfI Roads rather than the council. If a post would sit on adopted footway, that consent comes first; private forecourts and car parks are a matter for the owner.
Many private-land installations in Armagh need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council before posts go in.
Many repairs are really foundation repairs. Re-bedding a post means breaking out old concrete, which may be larger or deeper than expected, and checking for services before digging further.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; DfI Roads may need to authorise work or carry it out.
What happens on site
Send photos and details
Tell us what has happened and send photographs of each affected post, close up and from a distance, with the location. That lets us identify the bollard type and the likely repair.
Carry out the repair
The crew carries out the agreed work. If they find something different, such as a cracked slab under a base plate, they stop and we price the extra work in writing before continuing.
Record and hand back
The repaired posts are checked, the surface is made good and photographs are sent so you have a record for your maintenance file.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |

Questions about bollard repairs in Armagh
Can you carry out bollard repairs anywhere in Armagh?
We cover all of Armagh (BT61 and BT60) and the rest of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon. We also work in Portadown, Dungannon and Craigavon.
Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Armagh?
Kerbside work in Armagh is a DfI Roads question: the Department for Infrastructure is the roads authority for Northern Ireland, and its permission is needed for anything placed in the public road or footway.
How much do bollard repairs cost in Armagh?
In Armagh, typically £115–£435 per visit, typically one to three posts, plus VAT (£135–£515 including VAT for homeowners), using our Northern Ireland guide prices. We confirm the visit price in writing before attending.
What happens if the crew finds more damage than expected?
They stop and tell you, and we price the extra work in writing. You decide whether to go ahead. Nothing beyond the agreed price is carried out without your approval.
Why does our base-plated bollard keep working loose?
Usually because the anchors are in weak, cracked or thin concrete, or too close to an edge or joint. Re-tightening does not last. New anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate or a slab repair is the lasting fix.
